But it's not all about me.The traveling core is made up of 4 us right now-Ron Rege jr, Kevin Huizenga, John Pham, and myself (Souther Salazar is meeting us in Providence after the art fair in miami and doing the rest, so that'll be a core of five. Five!), but in each city other cartoonists who are in the book will be popping up, and almost all them have new stuff out:

Kevin Huizenga has Or Else #5

Ron Rege jr has his amazing collection stories Against Pain

John Pham has Sublife #1

Matthew Thurber has the Soiled Mattress and The Springs albim, Honk Honk Bonk, which comes with a full length comic too for all you purists.

Ben Jones has The Ganzfeld #7, which he co-edited and made a full length cartoon for, and probably my favorite books of the year: New Painting and Drawing (Providence).

C.F. has Powr Mastrs vol. 2 (Providence, Montreal and Toronto).

Shary Boyle has Otherworld Uprising (toronto)

Kim Deitch, besides being maybe the best cartoonist who has ever lived, and I am not kidding with that, has a new book he did with his brothers called Deitch's Pictorama (Brooklyn).

Davd Heatley has My Brain is Hanging Upside Down (Brooklyn).

Chris Ware has Acme #19(Chicago).

Anders Nilsen has Big Questions #11 (Chicago).

Ivan Brunetti has An Anthology of Graphic Fiction vol.2 (Chicago)

And besides these guys, who I am singling out because they have recent stuff out, there are many more amazing people who will be at these events along the way, with recent new work too: Adrian Tomine, Leif Goldberg, Pshaw, Vanessa Davis, jerry moriarty, Rick altergott, Seth, Gabrielle Bell, Ted May, Dan Zettwoch, James McShane, and more and more and More. info here.
